1. Cape Spear National Historic Site of Canada
Most easterly point in North America equals an incredibly interesting place to visit.
Lighthouses, lightkeepers homes, interpretation centre, cliffs, beautiful ocean views, wildlife, and an old gun battery from the WWII to explore.
Please be sure to…More »
2. Ches's Fish & Chips
Absolutely hands down THE best fish and chips in THE WORLD.
Trust me.
They also have amazing burgers, wings, chicken, and more. Onion rings are a must.
3. The Burgundy Squid Cafe
Heaven on Earth...And considering the location (The Change Islands) is in itself a little bit of Heaven ... double win!!!
A lovely cafe with walls and windows adorned with the works of local artists' paintings and glass sun catchers. They also sell…More »
4. Mom's Place
Chips, dressing, and gravy.
Chips, dressing and gravy.
Cannot stress how good this is.
Only one thing better than this in the world and that would be:
Chips, dressing, and gravy with a Pepsi.

Fluvarium - a window on a stream
Nagel's Hill Brook, a tributary of Rennie's River, flows around the building so at the lower level, 9 viewing windows offer a glimpse of the various components of a river system. From shallow to deep or slow moving to…More »
6. Belbin's Grocery
In the old days there were two types of Belbin's customers - customers that they had housekeys for and customers who used to leave their doors unlocked. Belbins delivery would let themselves in and put away the frozen and perishable items. Of…More »
7. Classic Cafe East
St. John's, NL A1C 1E6
(709) 726-4444
A lovely cafe nestled at one end of the St. John's downtown. Don't let its size fool you, they can pack a whole lot of people into their well organised space, and the service is phenomenal. If you are super lucky, you'll have seat with a view. If…More »
8. Gaze Seed Company (1987) Ltd
Seeds glorious seeds. Was glad to visit Gaze Seeds on my recent trip to Newfoundland as we brought back some great treats to plant in my garden here in Vancouver.
Other than live plants, seeds are one of my favorite things. I used to have a bit…More »
9. Fred's Records Tapes CDs
A record store is a record store is a record store....
Unless it's a legacy and a gem like Fred's. Fred's is the kind of place that makes you want to order records, tapes, CDs, and DVDs even when the material is available to purchase or download…More »

11. MUN Botanical Gardens
Beautiful gardens and large areas of wilderness to explore on trails rated between easy and moderate.
Your self guided tour begins and ends at the main building adjacent to the parking lot. This houses their administration offices, gift shop,…More »
12. Wild Horses Pub & Eatery
When you ask people in St. John's these days where the best fish and chips is they all say it's this place. Except many cannot remember the name, because they haven't been there long perhaps. Or maybe they've changed names? Or maybe they've just…More »
13. St. John's International Airport
Only place in Canada where people CHEER when they land. So for this alone you gotta give the place props. Or jets. Or helicopters... ;-)
Not a large airport, by any stretch of the imagination, but the departures set up I found a bit confusing.…More »
14. Tim Hortons
From coast to coast, Canadians love their Timmies.
I like their food options. Congrats on making a hash brown that isn't the same as everyone else's. It might be thinner than an average hash brown but it's seasoned nicely and is less greasy than…More »
15. Merlo's Press & Bean
Decent place for a meal. They have a nice setup to deal with the lunch crowd. Something for everyone.
It wasn't the lunch hour when we went, so we missed the usual crowd. Perhaps this is why the waiter decided not to write down our order. I have…More »
16. Mary Brown's
Let's run away to Gander and Get Mary'd!!!
Funny story. I was visiting St. John's for a few weeks. I'd tried to make plans with a dear friend of mine but our schedules seemed to be in conflict. Then while travelling the province enroute to The…More »

When visiting family, we found out that St. John's now has a Korean restaurant! We love Korean food, my daughter has travelled there and we were super anxious to try it and share the experience with the family we were visiting, namely my Mom ! :-)
We…More »
19. T.L.P Restaurant
**Family restaurant** Feels like home.
Located at the end of the road, we theorized that T.L.P might stand for The Lookout Point. However as it turns out, T.L.P are the initials of the owner's three children. *Family restaurant*
Friendly warm…More »
20. Sobeys
Sobeys.... you have a place in my heart. Somehow...
You've got everything needed from a large grocery store, and somehow you are more. Helpful, friendly staff, some of whom have been around for years. Like a family.
21. The Rower
Rower you inspire me.
Constant, straining against the oar, relentless against nature, determined, steely, strong and unweilding.
This bronze sculpture captures well the spirit of The Rower - a constant figure at Quidi Vidi lakeside. History seeps into…More »
22. Toya International Market & Specialty Store
International Market & Speciality store, indeed!!! Very small store but if you are looking for a unique ingredient there is a good chance you'll find it here. Tinned goods, frozen items, sauces, spices, and selection of produce. If it isn't open…More »

Yay! for Comic Stores. This one is a great one!
Comics, graphic novels, games, figurines and collectibles. Bright shop. Well organised location. Service is friendly and helpful.
Yay! I'm a fan!
24. Kent
Well stocked. Very helpful customer service from most of the staff. Conveniently located and always lots of parking!
25. Quik Way
Beer store and lottery.
Well stocked freezers in a row. Groceries. Produce.
Like most of the stores here, supplies arrive once a week. Great stock of staples, but occasionally the perishable items can run low. Island life! Gotta love it!
26. Afterwords Book Store
Great book store downtown. Wonderful collection of new and used.
The owner is very knowledgeable and can generally find you something useful and interesting. Custom orders and requests are always possible. Leave your name and number and they'll…More »
27. Kenny's Pond Park
Kenny's Pond - we go back a long way.
When I was a little girl and my sister and I were new to the city - you were the pond in our backyard. Your bugs, and fish and plants were our playground .
Growing up you were the pond down the street - where we…More »
28. Canadian Tire Associate Stores
Landmark in St. John's. This place has been around for eons. It was in this parking lot that I learned to drive, my dinosaur. YES! That is how long it has been here!
Decent selection and service.
29. Downhome Shoppe and Gallery
All things crafty and touristy.
As they'd say in Newfenese: "Best kinda stuff by'e"
I'm not one for buying touristy stuff, or to bring home gifts to those who didn't come on my vacation with me. So the reason I come to places like this isn't to do…More »

Holland Nurseries. Another St. John's landmark.
Wonderful nursery: great product, helpful and warm staff. Pricing is decent.

A-OK
Staples with all its lovely home and office supplies and equipment.
